10 Big-Money Stars Liverpool Should Consider Signing

Liverpool's qualification for the Champions League next season opens up a world of new opportunities in the transfer market.

If the Daily Star's Chris McKenna is to be believed, Brendan Rodgers has been handed a £60 million war chest this summer.

Furthermore, the appeal of Champions League football will allow Liverpool to attract a higher calibre of player to the club, an obstacle they previously found hard to overcome when chasing the likes of Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Willian and Mohammed Salah.

Having already secured England international Rickie Lambert and Germany's Emre Can this summer, could Liverpool be eyeing a big-money swoop for one of Europe's top stars?

Here we look at 10 potential candidates for a lucrative move to Anfield this summer.

Adam Lallana (Southampton)

Adam Lallana isn't just one of the rising talents of English football—he's already risen.

Having proven his fantastic attacking credentials at Southampton, Lallana has been firmly on Liverpool's radar this summer, but unwilling to go above their £25 million valuation of the England international, Liverpool look set to give up hope of signing him, according to ESPN.

Lallana is valued at just £6.6 million on Transfermarket, so maybe Southampton should take Liverpool's money and run.

The 21-year-old has everything needed to become world-class in his position: pace, power, dribbling, a terrific final ball and good defensive work. The threat he poses going forward is particularly impressive, and his seven goals and assists in 2013/14 would be good statistics for a winger, let alone a full-back.

Liverpool could really use an attacking-minded left-back, able to surge forward, but be athletic enough to track back effectively.

After a very impressing 2013-14, he is currently valued at £17.6 million by Transfermarkt.

Alexis Sanchez (Barcelona)

Like Pedro, it seems unlikely that Barcelona would part with forward Sanchez, the 25-year-old having made 34 La Liga appearances in 2013-14.

The Chilean international would provide Liverpool with a finishing instinct to rival Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez in attack, but his current market value of £26.4 million, as per Transfermarkt, is very high.
